?

  Yun Zhi was taken aback for a moment, and then her face flushed with red clouds. She gave Mo Qingchen a white look and said, "Miss, what are you talking about?"

  Mo Qingchen smiled faintly: "Yunzhi sister, isn't it said that you attendants only serve us until we are 15 years old? Since we've been together for a while, I naturally want to arrange a good place for Yunzhi sister."

  In fact, within the clan, although it is stipulated that personal attendants serve monks until they are 15 years old, when the time comes, they will not be forced to leave. This still depends on the master's intentions. If the relationship between the master and servant is deep, some may choose to stay and continue serving.

  These personal maids usually follow their masters until they are fifteen years old, and by then they are already twenty years old. Except for a few exceptions, most of them choose to get married.

  Because they served as maids for nuns, the men they married were naturally quite good, and some were even better than those that secular wealthy families' daughters married.

  Yun Chi lowered her head and remained silent, revealing a stretch of clean white neck. Mo Qingchen smiled and said: "What's wrong, is Yun Chi thinking of being like Yun Shan?"

  A steady young man's shadow flashed through Yun Chi's mind, and she stomped her foot, saying: "Miss, Yun Chi doesn't have the idea of climbing high branches at all. Although being a cultivator is good, Yun Chi also has self-awareness. In front of them, it's inevitable to feel ashamed, what happiness can be said? It's better to find someone similar and spend this life together with satisfaction."

  Yun Chi had a shy and timid look on her face, Mo Qingchen secretly thought that Yun Chi's thoughts were actually in line with hers.

  She is not a heartless person, the distance to the fairy road is uncertain, but one thing is certain, Yunzhi will only be a passerby in her life. Although it can be said that after taking care of herself for several years, it is also necessary to arrange a way out that suits her when parting ways. But if she really thinks like Yunshang, letting her personally send her personal maid to serve as a concubine to a man, she really can't do it.

  Actually, Mo Qingchen had also thought about it - should a cultivator cut off all emotions? Cutting off emotions means being indifferent to everyone, doesn't it?

  That day, the thoughts of life and death, nature, cause and effect swirled in her mind due to her grandfather's words. In the end, although she didn't understand any truth, she somehow didn't agree with this point of view.

  This is called cause and effect. Today's cause, tomorrow's result, Yun Chi has been taking care of her since she was young, growing up with meticulous care, which is the cause. If she ignores it when the time comes, it will go against her own nature. On the contrary, it will be unfavorable to the cultivation of her mind, giving Yun Chi a good way out, not only is it the result of the cause that Yun Chi has planted, but also the end of her own cause and effect with Yun Chi. Book fans also like to read:

  Occasionally, the patriarchal grandfather would say when giving a lecture to them in Chaoyang Hall that cultivators should try their best to have no worries, not be tainted by worldly affairs, and not provoke cause and effect, so as to walk further on the path of longevity.

  Each master has his own understanding of the Tao, and Patriarch's words are reasonable. Mo Qingchen listened to it, but didn't know why he didn't have that kind of enlightenment feeling, always feeling that there was something missing between him and what he had been walking towards, as if separated by a layer of gauze.

  "Miss..." Yunzhi called out, seeing Mo Qingchen's silence.

  Mo Qingchen snapped back to reality, a faint smile on his face. As he had just stepped into the threshold, it was natural that he couldn't understand these things thoroughly. He thought that as his cultivation and state of mind improved, he would definitely have new epiphanies.

  Mo Qingchen also stopped overthinking and threw these thoughts to the back of his mind, returning to his room to cultivate.

  Mo Qingchen still didn't know that in the entire cultivation world, there were so many cultivators. Even among those with rare talents like Tian Linggen and Bian Yixing, only a few could truly cultivate to the Yuan Ying stage, let alone achieve the subsequent stages of Chu Kong and Fen Shen.

  What's even more intriguing is that those Yuan Ying cultivators with great spiritual powers have more double-spirited roots and triple-spirited roots, why is that?

  Setting aside qualifications, opportunities and enlightenment, these powerful practitioners have all found their own way, with a firm mind, they can go further.

  Mo Qingchen, although of humble origins and inferior talent, was able to subconsciously pursue his own path from the start of his cultivation, and stood higher than some people who only knew how to constantly get stronger and put their cultivation above all else.

  There are no days without taking Dan medicine, with Mo Qingchen's four spiritual roots, the speed of cultivation can be described as snail-like. Often, after a big week of cultivation, only a thin thread of spiritual power is added to the body, and it's unknown when one will be able to enter the late stage of Qi Refining Third Layer.

  She couldn't bear to use those three Jade Bud Pills at this time, even if it was during the late stage of Qi Refining, the Mo family wouldn't be able to produce such good pills for her, and using them just to increase her cultivation would be a complete waste.

  Mo Qingdun made up his mind and decided that he would only take it when he reached the middle stage of Qi Refining.

  Mo Qingchen only realized today that his spiritual root was not good at cultivating, but his mentality was very calm. Even if he only increased a little bit of spiritual power, it was better than nothing. Day after day, it would eventually accumulate and become more.

  Quietly cultivating day and night without any disturbance, it's good that during the day in Chaoyang Hall there is Hu Tou and Mo Ning Rou's company, at night there is Wang Chuan who never speaks a word accompanying her, unexpectedly not feeling dull or tasteless, instead discovering that due to previously always taking elixirs causing cultivation growth too fast resulting in an unstable foundation, it has become solid.

  Time flies quickly through June and enters July.

  July is the time when the sun is like a fire, the cicadas on the trees chirp non-stop all day long, making people feel annoyed and irritable. The leaves on the trees look wilted and limp, while under the trees often lie big yellow dogs, panting with their tongues hanging out.

  But in the entire Mo Manor, the joyful atmosphere was becoming more and more intense.

  The Double Seventh Festival is approaching, and originally, every year's Double Seventh Festival was just a festival that Mo family's ordinary daughter looked forward to with all her heart. However, this year is greatly different, from the patriarch to the maids and young servants, everyone has a smile on their face, looking forward to the arrival of that day.

  The Double Seventh Festival is the day when Mo Jia and Hua Qian Shu get married.

  The two families' masters are related by marriage, and it's not like the quiet and unassuming Yunshan who was carried to the Ouyang family in a sedan chair some time ago. Moreover, the Mo family hasn't had a master get married for many years, so this time they naturally want to make it grand and lively.

  Mo Yu stopped going out after June and stayed in the mansion, waiting for the day of her grand wedding.

  Mo Qingchen occasionally met, and found that the 13th aunt's eyebrows and eyes were full of intense and unresolvable sweet emotions, her eyes shining with longing. At this moment, she was no different from an ordinary woman.

  Are the two words "love" really capable of causing such great emotional fluctuations? Mo Qingchen thought to herself, in her past life she had not yet experienced the taste of this before dying and being reborn, and now that she has been on a path of cultivation since childhood, she is even more resistant to the idea of romance in her heart, always feeling that if she were to indulge in it, wouldn't she be neglecting her cultivation?

  Thinking of this, she felt conflicted again. The clan elder said that cultivators should not be tainted by worldly desires, but looking at the four major families' struggles for power and profit, weddings and funerals, what's the difference between them and the mundane world?

  "Hey, what are you thinking about?" Mo Danyan chuckled and tapped Mo Qingchen's forehead with the feather fan in his hand.

  Mo Qingchen looked at the old man with a red face, holding a fan and shaking his head, couldn't help but laugh, but didn't dare to say it out loud. He said: "Grandfather, when the 13th aunt got married, did she also sit in a sedan chair with a red veil like ordinary people, and did Hua Jia Qian Shu's brother ride a tall horse to welcome her?"

  Mo Danyan's expression didn't reveal any joy or anger, and he said lightly: "Families like ours are like this, we just have fewer social niceties than ordinary people."

  Beyond the strings, those cultivators of great sects or families of true cultivation are not like this.

  Mo Qingchen didn't ask more questions, but instead asked his own entangled question: "Grandfather, isn't it that we cultivators should avoid worldly affairs, so why is this marriage matter——"

  Mo Daxian was taken aback, shaking his head and saying: "Girl, your question is indeed interesting. The heaven and earth are divided into yin and yang, as the saying goes, 'solitary yang does not give birth, solitary yin does not grow', male is yang, female is yin, when male and female combine, yin and yang complement each other, only then can they last long. That's why many couples who cultivate together, their cultivation grows faster than those who cultivate alone."

  "Grandfather, you mean that the union of men and women is in accordance with the will of heaven?" Mo Qingchen asked.

  Mo Danyan nodded: "It can also be said that man follows the earth, the earth follows heaven, heaven follows the Tao, and the Tao follows nature. When we cultivate the Tao, we must also follow the laws of heaven and earth, as well as the natural order."

  "Hmm." Mo Qingchen nodded as if he understood but didn't really understand.

  "But, however," Mo Danyan's tone suddenly shifted as he continued, "the number of cultivators who practice alone far exceeds those who practice in pairs. There are many reasons for this, such as differences in cultivation levels, mental states, and perspectives, which can lead to gradual drifting apart, making paired cultivation a burden rather than mutually beneficial. In some cases, the initial intention was merely to leave behind an heir, without any emotional attachment. And then there's the matter of rare treasures, techniques, and elixirs - it's not uncommon for paired cultivators to turn against each other over these things. In this sense, practicing alone can be more carefree and peaceful. After all, one shouldn't force things; going with the natural flow is best."

  Having heard the implication in grandfather's words, Mo Qingchen nodded and said: "Thank you, Grandfather, for your guidance. I will remember it."

  Her heart skipped a beat, thinking of Thirteen Aunt marrying Hua Qian Shu. It was natural to be sincere and genuine, but what about Hua Qian Shu? Was he on the same page as her? Why had she been observing him coldly for two years, yet still couldn't see through him? She even felt that whenever Hua Qian Shu looked at Thirteen Aunt, apart from a faint smile on his lips, it was no different from how he looked at other women.

  Time flew to July 6th, the entire Mo Mansion was decorated with lanterns and streamers, everything looked new and refreshed. Even the ordinary residential areas in the front yard, which were separated from the residence of the monks, were hung with large red lanterns, attracting many people from Luoyang City to stop and watch.

  "This Mo Manor is having a joyful event, isn't it? It's decorated so grandly." A sturdy young man sighed.

  The young man who looked very clever on the side said: "It should be, I say Brother Zhang, this Mo Fu's marriage, it shouldn't be those gods you were talking about, right?"

  A tall and sturdy young man burst out laughing: "How could that be? Those gods would still blow trumpets to marry their wives just like us ordinary people?"

  Another young man curled his lip: "That's not necessarily true, the Jade Emperor also married the Queen Mother of the West."

  "Haha, you're just imagining things. If Brother Li were here, he'd laugh at you too. Sigh... I don't know where he went either, it's been a long time since we last saw him..."

  By nightfall, many people in the Mo Mansion were still busy preparing for the second day. The entire mansion was brightly lit, filled with laughter and joyful voices.

  Ke Mo Lao Liu quietly entered Mo Da Shan's courtyard, his face looking unpleasant as he said: "Third Brother, something has happened."
